Keep in mind that no one, including NetJets, started with a 7 on, 7 off schedule. They had to fight for it and earn it.
Think or these pilots as the first wave to break through the barbed wire on Omaha beach and move inland. Improvements will come with time. Remember, when Southwest started... Well, it wasn't the Southwest of today...

Yea the 6/3 is no tail wagging kind of schedule. Not sure what the powers that be are thinking, it doesn't make any sense operationally and definitely makes no sense with regard to QOL. I'm pretty sure they will be 6 day tours away from home unless you happen to come back to base, with the number of members Wheels Up is looking to get there shouldn't be much time to standby at home.
Like 727CRVR said, the first guys are the ones that have to break through ... I'm sure there will be some high turnover until they fix that schedule
